Diagnosing the Problem

Troubleshooting printer problems is best handled in two steps: first diagnose the problem, then
apply likely solutions until the problem is fixed.
The information that you need to diagnose and solve most common problems is provided by
online problem solving, the control panel, the EPSON Status Monitor utility, or by running a
printer operation check. Refer to the appropriate section below.
If you have a specific problem relating to print quality, a printout problem not related to print
quality, or a paper feeding problem, or if the printer does not print at all, refer to the appropriate
section.
To solve a problem, you may need to cancel printing.
& See "Canceling Printing" on page 40.

Error indicators

For B-500DN users
You can diagnose and solve most problems by checking the error messages on the LCD screen. If
the printer stops working and displays a message on the LCD screen, refer to the section below to
diagnose the problem, and then follow the recommended corrective measures.
& See "Status and error messages" on page 82.
For B-300 users
You can identify many common printer problems using the lights on your printer. If the printer
stops working and the lights are on or flashing, refer to the section below to diagnose the problem,
and then follow the recommended corrective measures.
